My guts feeling says that it isn't. If it is required, we cannot leave this responsibility to the host, and this logic must be moved to EL2. And if it isn't, then we should drop it. > ret = pkvm_host_map_guest(pfn, fault_ipa >> PAGE_SHIFT); > if (ret) { > if (ret == -EAGAIN) But the bigger picture here is what ensures that the host cannot mess with the guest tags? I don't think we have a any mechanism to guarantee that, specially on systems where the tags are only a memory carve-out, which the host could map and change at will. In any case, this isn't the time to pile new features on top of pKVM. The current plan is to not support MTE at all, and only do it once we have a definitive story on page donation (which as you may have noticed, is pretty hacky). I don't see any compelling reason to add MTE to the mix until this is solved. Thanks, M. -- Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible. _______________________________________________ kvmarm mailing list kvmarm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/kvmarm
